Abstract

A photovoltaic cell module, a photovoltaic array including at least two modules, and a method of forming the module are provided. The module includes a first outermost layer and a photovoltaic cell disposed on the first outermost layer. The module also includes a second outermost layer disposed on the photovoltaic cell and sandwiching the photovoltaic cell between the second outermost layer and the first outermost layer. The method of forming the module includes the steps of disposing the photovoltaic cell on the first outermost layer, disposing a silicone composition on the photovoltaic cell, and compressing the first outermost layer, the photovoltaic cell, and the second layer to form the photovoltaic cell module.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention generally relates to a photovoltaic cell module and a photovoltaic array. More specifically, the present invention relates to a photovoltaic cell module including a first outermost layer, a photovoltaic cell, and a second outermost layer that has particular properties and that is disposed on the photovoltaic cell sandwiching the photovoltaic cell between the second outermost layer and the first outermost layer. The present invention also relates to a method of forming a photovoltaic cell module.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

[0002] Solar or photovoltaic cells are semiconductor devices used to convert light into electricity. There are two general types of photovoltaic cells, wafers and thin films. Wafers are thin sheets of semiconductor material that are typically formed from mechanically sawing the wafer from a single crystal or multicrystal ingot. Alternatively, wafers can be formed from casting. Thin film photovoltaic cells usually i...
